Is that a 22 year old Zooey Deschanel as his girlfriend?

[@sml5268]

This song so needs to be on the charts right now. We need a good laugh song!! Way to go Haley Williams for bringing this song back up. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@jafjavier4939]

i think Hayley's rendition is so good, hope they record a new version together

[@regina_filange2.0]

I remember this so vividly. Pops in my head every once in a while. Decided to look it up. Had NO idea Zoey Deschanel was the girlfriend. Still hilarious

[@sithari518]

God, me too. I was in like 10th grade. MTV played it over and over. Whenever I see him now, even a picture, this comes to mind immediately. Can't remember him from anything else, even though this was the lead up to his VMA hosting gig that year.

[@Fortyjustice]

Same!

[@Mechachu]

The "honk your horn" part always invades my brain lol

[@bradcorban]

@@sithari518 That VMA hosting gig was out of this world. I downloaded that pre-KZbin to watch it on repeat.

[@benenderby6525]

Fuuuuck I didnt even recognise her!

[@flowersinmyhair55]

Omg I remembered when this first came out. Every time I say "I'm an idiot" when I do something stupid, I have the urge to finish with..."and I'm your boyfrrrraaaand". Lmao. Good times jimmy.

[@ashleyoya]

Yes this was my jam

[@adamwyker4800]

Did the same...nobody ever got it. Every time I hear Swanson's Dinner I add "witch-yo name on it..." Ironically Jimmy's g/f name is "Samantha."

[@coriannaaa4376]

That's exactly why I'm here right now. 2017. Someone said "I'm an idiot." And here I am...

[@LilPorcelynDoll]

Everytime my phone rings I laugh and think of him saying pick up the phone.

[@annapaulinamedinacastillo6160]

+LilPorcelynDoll when somebody is cooking I will say Hey baby You like fine cooking?
